WIP Wednesday

See, there is knitting going on here!

A "Granny's Favourite"  in King Cole Bamboo Cotton for T's best friend who is 3 the day after him (on Monday). Luckily, she is a little dot, so I'm making the 2 year old version, with slightly shorter sleeves.  This is designed to "go with anything" - and will hopefully be a very useful addition to her wardrobe. Sleeve one was completed this evening, which gives me two more evenings to finish this before K's party on Saturday. I haven't even thought about buttons.

7 months

There has been crafting, but most of it is secret or I haven't had a chance to take photos!

My two are keeping me busy, Em is now 7 months


She can sit unaided, is trying to shuffle forward and is very vocal! Thomas will be three in a couple of weeks. Where does the time go?

Happy half birthday Miss E

Parliament of Owls

Once you make one
 
You need to make more
All lined up and ready to go
 Off to the craft stall at The Big Chocolate Tea Party in Wolverhampton; to raise money for the Sick Children's Trust
That's if Thomas will let them go (he got to keep the first one!)
 With Thanks to Jacquie for the fabulous pattern and allowing me to sell these.

5 months!

Making Monday - Playful Stripes

If there is one pattern I've been meaning to make for years it is this one - Playful Stripes
I bought the pattern back in 2009 and have thought about casting on numerous times but have never quite managed it.

So, as my little girl has kindly given me my evenings back, I have made her a cardigan.

It took me a couple of weeks, and I'm lucky it didn't take much longer as it only just fits (I made the 3 month size and she is 3 months this week)
 I'm not convinced she likes it, or maybe it is just the photographer she is sticking her tongue out at... Cute baby, lovely knitwear!
